Abstract (en)

Provided is a cleaning device that can prevent reduction of an electrostatic clamping force in a vacuum state and can remove foreign matter in a vacuum processing chamber of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus. The cleaning device includes: a foreign matter attraction unit 4 in which attraction electrodes 3 composed of a pair of electrodes are provided inside an insulator; and an attraction control unit 5 that turns on a control switch to charge the attraction electrodes and generate an electrostatic clamping force on a surface of the insulator to enable attraction of foreign matter, wherein the control switch of the attraction control unit 5 is a remotely-operable switch that is externally operable, and foreign matter in the vacuum processing chamber can be removed by an electrostatic clamping force generated in a vacuum state by turning on the control switch for the cleaning device in a vacuum closed space closed in the vacuum state.
